The problem with Current R&B is that everyone makes slow boring songs. We need music You can step to

[Arcavian]

no matter what song is placed here, your gonna find a reason to not like it

 

[3rdWorld]

I'm no longer inspired to give new music a listen..I tried and tried till I just gave up. Im now revisiting older music and finding gems.

New age artists can't sing. Their vocals are shot.

Low energy. Where is the rhythm?

Ballads and slower tempo songs have their place.. Everything’s not gonna be uptempo/make you dance. Rhythm AND BLUES!

 

[The_Sheff]

Actual music is dead. When the band's left so did the groove. Put it on the oldies stations, those songs are hits just based off the instrumental. You can't play an instrumental today and dance to it, the music is nothing but some weak ass chords over trap drums with some non-singing "model" someone fukking sounding like a doped out ghost. At least Amerie tried to sing, I don't know what these women today are doing.

Let's talk about the fact that if somebody made an album of what you claim to want, you wouldn't buy it

they wont acknowledge this

But when everything is slow . That’s the point

 

[King Poetic]

No one has vocals that stand out

chris brown is a good entertainer, same with Beyoncé

but in terms of a R Kelly type of voice or a Mariah Carey/Whitney Houston naw….

and right now WHITE record executives all want the same type of artist

 

[DaPresident]

I honestly don't even pay attention to these newer artists.



I stay in my own bubble and listen to the music I grew up on and my parents put me onto. Usher, Dru Hill, Earth, Wind and Fire, Ginuwine, the folks you hear on your local "oldies or smooth RnB stations"

It works for me, plus i make playlists on Apple music so I never run into these problems

This generation is depressed as fukk and many of them are neo rappers in disguise

I'm not really aware of much TRUE R&B going on in mainstream, outside of Bruno, tbh..
Give me some examples, Breh..

This bullshyt ass thread again… I don’t even bother to post music anymore, but y’all aren’t really fans of R&B if you can’t find something new you like. Spotify will steer you in the right direction if you have decent taste.

True.But the thread wasn’t even just about vocal. The bounce in the music is there. The groove is gone. These are all records that will get people to the dance floor: Even this record has a groove:

Cut the shyt. You know the majority are making sleepy “r&b”. No rhythm at all just emo, fake neo soul bullshyt
